3 Inches of Blood

Fire Up the Blades (Roadrunner)
by Scott Hefflon

Falsetto-howled classic heavy metal with plenty of throat-scratched snarl included. Double-bass thunder and silly lyric about being the keeper of this or that, yet there are riffs to keep the guitar geeks slavering, and grooves and breakdowns to keep the crowd moving. Part thrash and part classic heavy metal, they can open for Maiden or Priest any time, and I’ll show up in time to catch the last few songs.
